1961 April Towers by Otterbein University

\Who Discovers the Discoverers? A professor can never better distinguish himself in his work than by encouraging a clever pupil, for the true discoverers are among them, as comets amongst the stars.” Carl Linnaeus Somewhere in this mighty land of ours, a gifted youth is learning to see the light of tomorrow. Somewhere in a college classroom or laboratory, a dedicated teach er is gently leading genius toward goals of lofty attain ment. Somewhere the mind of a future discoverer-in science, engineering, government, or the arts-is being trained to transcend the commonplace. ^ Our nation has been richly rewarded by the quality of thought nurtured in our colleges and universities The caliber of learning generated there has been re sponsible in no small part for our American way of life To our college teachers, the selfless men and women ^A-mioher education

who inspire our priceless human resources, we owe more than we will ever be able to repay. Yet how are we actually treating these dedicated people? Today low salaries are not only driving gifted teachers into other fields, but are steadily reducing the number of qualified people who choose college teaching as a career. At the same time, classrooms are begin ning to get overcrowded. In the face of this, college applications are expected to double by 1967. This is a severe threat to our system of education, to our way of life, even to our very existence as a nation. Our colleges need help-and they need it now!

EDITOR'S comer

This issue of Otterbein Towers is late due to several unusual projects in your Alumni Office. We appreciate your patience in this extraordinary situation. A new, sound, colored motion picture about Otterbein has Iteen produced this spring and will be shown for the first time on Alumni Day, Saturday, June 3. This film will be available for alumni clubs, churches and schools. Our office is just now completing the proof reading of the 1961 ALUMNI REGISTER. The compiling and editing of the register has been a gigantic task but we are hopeful that the com pleted copy will meet with your approval.

Dedication of the Clymer Me morial Organ in Cowan Hall will he Sunday, June 4, at 8:00 P.M. Virgil Fox of New York City will present the dedicatory organ re cital. Irvin L. Clymer, ’09, of Evans ton, Illinois, gave .’$54,000 to Otter bein for the installation of the three-manual Moller organ in Cowan Hall. The gift is in memory of his wife, Elsa Zell Clymer, who died March 28, 1959. Until his retirement in 195,8, Mr. Clymer was president of the Pittsburgh Limestone Corporation, a U.S. Steel sid)sidiary, as well as president of the Michigan Lime stone and Chemical Company. .Mr. Clymer was graduated from Otterbein College in 1909 and re ceived an engineering degree from

Purdue University in 1911. He has been a ineniber of the Otterbein College board of trustees since 1958 and last year Otterbein be stowed the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws upon him. Virgil Fox is organist of the Riverside Cliurch in New York City and is known as one of .America’s most outstanding con cert organists. Fox’s universal popularity, which has resulted in fretjuent sell-outs wherever he has ajjpeared, has l)een variously attributed to his mastery of the instrument and his flawless tedmique, hut it is more truly a result of his projection of a warm, vibrant personality through the medium of organ music. Alumni are cordially invited to attend the dedicatory organ recital.

Clements Carillon To Be Daiicated Dedication ceremonies are plan ned for the new Clements Carillon on May Day, Saturday, May 13th, at 1:30 P.M. W. Robert Morrison, carilloneur, and minister of music at the First Methotlist Church, Canton, Ohio, will present a spec ial Carillonic Bell Recital. In 1948, Dr. and Mrs. Frank O. Clements presented a carillon to Otterbein College and the First Evangelical United Brethren Church of Westerville. Recently, Mrs. Clements, a member of the Board of Trustees, has contributed an addition to the carillon which will make it one of the outstand ing carillon instruments in the nation, and similar to the Bok I'ower Carillon in Florida. I'he instrument is installed in Cowan Hall on the Otterbein Campus and provides the tonal ecjuivalent of over 100,000 jmunds of cast bells tuned to the finest slandaids. T he harp bells, which are a jKirt of the “Americana” Carillon, an exclusive development of Schulmerich Carillon, Inc., of Sellersville, Pennsylvania are a new tone color in bell music, and add the mellow beauty of the plucked harp, while the Celesta bells, also a new tone color, add a silvery brightness to the instru ment, enabling the musician to play selections which were not pos sible heretofore. The Carillon consists of 208 min iature bell units, of bronze bell metal, which are struck by metal hammers, prodiuing exact true bell tones almost inaudible to the human ear. These bell vibrations are then amplified over one mil lion times by means of sj^ecially de signed electronic equipment, pro ducing true bell music with all the depth and vividness of traditional cast bells of massive proportions. The Clements Carillon will be played from a special keyboard located in Cowan Hall or from a keyboard of the organ console in the First Evangelical United Bre thren Church. Selection switches will permit the bells to be heard within the building alone, from

the tower alone, or both together.

Carillon Recital Mr. ^V. Robert Morrison, carilloneur and minister of music at the First Metho dist Church, Canton, Ohio, will present the following special Carillonic Bell Re cital at 1:,H0 P.M. on Saturday, May 1.8: .A 1 R.AGMENT OF CHANGE-RINGING on the Flemish and English Bells A.MERICA THE BEAUTIFUL Ward C:HAC0NNE .....................Auguste Durand W,\LTZ (opus 69 no. 1) Chopin 1 HREE HYMNS: Praise to the Lord, the .Almighty The Doxology (Old Hundredth) O God, Our Help in -Ages Past (St. .Anne) FUCi.A .................................

About The Carilloneur A native of Baltimore, Mary land, Mr. Morrison received a B.S. degree from Johns Hopkins Uni versity and held a three-year or gan scholarship at the Peabody Conservatory of Music. Further study at the Reformed Episcopal Seminary, Philadelphia resulted in the B.D. degree. His Master of Music degree was obtained at the Westminster Choir College, Prince ton, New Jersey. Mr. Morrison was appointed Minister of Music at the Eirst

W. Robert Morrison

Methodist Church, Canton, Ohio, in 1951, and is responsible for seven choirs induding a group of 52 handbells, as well as playing the Aeolian-Skinner ])ipe organ, and the 8r)-note carillonic bells from the tower of this church, his torically famous as the church in which President McKinley wor shipped. The summer of 1953 Mr. Morri son spent in organ study at Fontainbleau, France, under Marcel Dupre. His first organ teacher was Viigil Fox, and he coums many famous mimes in the organ world as his mentors. Mr. James Lawson of the University of Chicago has coached him in carillon playing and Mr. Anton Brees of the Bok .Singing Tower has recently been his teacher.

Vigilante Honored

Honor Roll

Mr. Nicholas Vigilante, professor of education at Otterbein College, and family were recently subjects of a feature story in “North Ameri can Take-Off,’’ a news publication of the Columbus division of North American Aviation, Inc. The Vigilantes were featured be cause their name is identical to the AJ3 Vigilante aircraft which is manufactured by North American Aviation.

A total of 132 students are listed on the first semester honor roll at Otterbein College. This represents 14.6% of the student body. In order to be listed on the honor roll, a student must earn a semester point average of 3.3 out of a pos sible 4.0. Between the classes, the breakdown of students on the honor roll is as follow's: Freshmen35; Sophomores-28; Juniors-23; and Seniors-46.

Basketball Record The Ottcrbcin College Cardinals chalked up the best basketball rec ord in six years with a 9-12 wonloss record. Not since 1954-55, when the team compiled an iden tical 9-12 mark, has the squad fared so well. Coach Alike Kish, in his third year at Otterbein, engineered the cagers to the comparatively success ful season. Especially gratifying was a late season rush of the Car dinals when they won four con secutive games. The cagers closed the season with a 47-43 loss to eventual NCAA small-college champion, Wittenberg, in the Ohio Confer ence Tournament. Leading scorer for Otterbein was 6'3" sophomore center, Alf Washington. An outstanding player. Washington was voted to the Ohio Conference second team. He aver aged 16.7 points a game and led the team in rebounds with a 11.9 game average.

GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT OTTERBEIN 'I’he year 1961 promises to be a sigtiificant year in the long history of Otterbein College. In fact, the years from 1961-65 will witness the largest expansion of the physical j)lant and growth in student enrollment in any four-year pericjcl in the life of the college. Dur ing the j)resent year a dormitory for men and another

for women will be comjjleted. It is hoped that con struction can start on the Life Science Building by the end of the year and that soon thereafter the new combined student center and dining hall will be under construction.

What Will You Do For Otterbein In 1961? On April 1, the 1961 Develojjinent Fund year was oflicially launched. On that date the 1960 fund rejjort or Honor Roll was released and Otterbein alumni throughout the woild were invited by Development Board Chairman, Herman F. Lehman, to make their fommitments for this year. I he year is off to a good start with over 1,100 gilts received before the fund year was ofTicially be gun. I his is a result of the four campaigns which Xo. Of Prospects

The Financial Goals For 1961 Are Higher The goals for 1961 are 2,500 gifts and .895,000. This represents an increase of 500 gifts and .815,000 over 1960. This does not include the thousands of dollars we hope to raise in special gifts from alumni to apply on the building projects. In order to reach this financial goal many alumni will need to double or triple their regular annual gifts. With a little

planning, most alumni can easily do this, especially those who are accustomed to giving token gifts. A sister institution is .suggesting a semi-annual gift. This seems a practical idea. In fact, a few Otterbein alumni are now making monthly contributions; others are making quarterly gifts.

Two Alumni Provide For Their Almamater Through A Will THROUGH LIFE INSURANCE. The late Dr. Herbert E. Hall, ’02, a physician for many years in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, clied on February 12, 1961. A short while before he died he made Otterbein the beneficiary of all his insurance, which totaled 323,750. Mrs. Hall, the former Bessie Detwiler, ’02, was the daughter of Henry Detwiler and Josephine Van Gundy Detwiler, ’75. The money will be used for an appropriate memorial gift as yet undetermined. ^8-

THROUGH A WILL. The late Mrs. J. B. Bovey (Ida Mauger, ’96) left approximately 356,000 to Ot terbein. She directed that the two scholarship funds she had started be increased to 310>000 each, whereas the balance was undesignated. It has not been de cided definitely how this balance shall be used but it will likely be applied to one of the building projects and appropriately designated.

SUSAN GREENBURC

Times have changed. Have Americans college students?

THE COLLEGE STUDENT, they say, is a young person who will...

. . . use a car to get to a library two blocks away, knowing full well tbat the parking lot is three blocks on the other side. . . . move heaven, earth, and the dean’s office to enroll in a class already filled; then drop the course. . . . complain bitterly about the quality of food served in the college dining halls—while putting down a third portion. . . . declaim for four solid years that the girls at his institution or at the nearby college for women are unquestionably the least attraetive females on the face of the earth; then marry one of them.

irr there is a serious side. Today’s students, many . professors say, are more accomplished than the average of their predecessors. Perhaps this is because there is greater competition for college en trance, nowadays, and fewer doubtful candidates get in. Whatever the reason, the trend is important. For civilization depends upon the transmission of knowledge to wave upon wave of young people—and on the way in which they receive it, master it, employ it, add to it. If the transmission process fails, we go back to the beginning and start over again. We are never more than a generation away from total ignor ance. Because for a time it provides the world’s leaders, each generation has the power to change the course of history. The current wave is thus exactly as important, as the one before it and the one that will come after it. Each is crucial in its own time.

Scott Thompson

HAT will the present student generation do?

What are its hopes, its dreams, its principles? Will it build on our past, or reject it? Is it, as is so often claimed, a generation of timid organiza tion people, born to be commanded? A patient band of revolutionaries, waiting for a breach? Or something in between? No one—not even the students themselves—can be sure, of course. One can only search for clues, as we do in the fourteen pages that follow. Here we look at, and listen to, college students of 1961—the people whom higher education is all about.

student is a wonderful thing. ” TUDENT YEARS are exciting years. They are excit

ing for the participants, many of whom are on their own for the first time in their lives—and exciting for the onlooking adult. But for both generations, these are frequently painful years, as well. The students’ competence, which is considerable, gets them in dutch with their elders as often as do their youthful blunders. That young people ignore the adults’ soundest, most heart felt warnings is bad enough; that they so often get away with it sometimes seems unforgivable. Being both intelligent and well schooled, as well as unfettered by the inhibitions instilled by experience, they readily identify the errors of their elders—and they are not inclined to be lenient, of course. (The one unforgivable sin is the one you yourself have never committed.) But, lacking experience, they are apt to commit many of the same mistakes. The wise adult understands this: that only in this way will they gain experience and learn tolerance—neither of which can be conferred.

^^They say the student is an animal in transition. You have to wait until you get your degree, they say; then you turn the big corner and there you are. But being a student is a vocation, just like being a lawyer or an editor or a business man. This is what we are and where we are.'’’ ‘^The college campus is an open market of ideas. 1 can walk around the campus, say what I please, and be a truly free person. This is our world for now. Let's face it— we'll never live in a more stimulating environment. Being a student is a wonderful and magnificent and free thing. "

You go to college to learn, of course.

SUSAN CREENBURC

contrary to the memories that alumni and alumnae may have of "carefree” days, is often de^ scribed by its partakers as "the mill.” "You just get student’s life,

in the old mill,” said one student panelist, "and your head spins, and you’re trying to get ready for this test and that test, and you are going along so fast that you don’t have time to find yourself.” The mill, for the student, grinds night and day—in class rooms, in libraries, in dining halls, in dormitories, and in scores of enterprises, organized and unorganized, classed vaguely as "extracurricular activities.” Which of the activities —or what combination of activities—contributes most to a student’s education? E^ch student must concoct the recipe for himself. "You have to get used to living in the mill and finding yourself,” said another panelist. "You’ll always be in the mill —^all through your life.”

"It’s a favorite academic cliche, that not all learning comes from books. I think ifs dangerous. 1 believe the greatest part of learning does come from books—just plain books."

and grades, the stress put upon one’s sense of honor is heavy. For some, honor gains strength in the process. For others, the temptation to cheat is irresistible, and honor breaks under the strain. Some institutions proctor all tests and examinations. An instructor, eagle-eyed, sits in the room. Others have honor systems, placing upon the students themselves the responsibility to maintain integrity in the student com munity and to report all violators. How well either system works varies greatly. "When you come right down to it,” said one member of our student panel, "honor must be inculcated in the years before college —in the home.”

Tm from a school with an honor system that works. But is the reason it works maybe because of the tremendous penalty that's connected with cheating, stealing, or lying? It's expulsion—and what goes along with that IS that you can't get into another good school or even get a good job. It's about as bad a punishment as this country can give out, in my opinion. Does the honor system instill honor~or just fear?" "'At our school the honor system works even though the penalties aren't that stiff. It's part of the tradition. Most of the girls feel they're given the responsibility to be honorable, and they accept it." On our campus you can leave your books anyivhere and they'll be there when you come back. You can even leave a tall, cold milkshake—Fve done it—and when you come back two hours later, it will still be there. It won t be cold, but it will be there. You learn a respect for honor, a respect that will carry over into otherfields for the rest ofyour life." Fd say the minority who are top students don't cheat, because they're after knowledge. And the great majority in the middle don't cheat, because they're afraid to. But the poor students, who cheat to get by .. . The funny thing is, they're not afraid at all. I guess theyfigure they've nothing to lose." "'Nobody is just honest or dishonest. Fm sure everyone here has been gouty of some sort of dishonest act in his lifetime. But everyone here would also say he'spnmarily honest. I know if I were really in the dutch Fd cheat. I admit it__ and I don't necessarily consider mysdf dishonest because I would." "It seems to me you're saying that honor works only when it's easy." "Absolute honor is 150,000 miles out, at least. And we're down here, walking this earth with all our faults. You can look up at those douds of honor up there and say, "They're pretty, but I can t reach them. Or you can shoot for the clouds. I think that s the approach I want to take. I don t think I can attain absolute honor, but I can try—and Fd like to leave this world with that on my batting record."

noticed an attitude among students: Okay, just keep criticizing. But we’re going to come back and react. In some ways we’re going to be a little rebellious. We’re going to shoiv you what we can really do.” Today’s college students are perhaps the most

about taking stands. The majority rationalized, saying it wasn't our place; what good would it do? They were afraid people ivould check the college in future years and if they took an unpopular stand they wouldn't get security clearance or wouldn't get a job. I thought this was awful. But I see indications of an awakening of interest. It isn't how we feel about issues, but whether we feel at all. "/’/n sure it's practically the same everywhere.

Others blame the times —times without deprivation, times whose burning issues are too colossal, too impersonal, too remote and say that the apparent student lassitude is simply society’s lassitude in microcosm. The quotation that heads this column is from one of the members of our student panel. At the right is what some of the others think.

I've felt the apathy at my school. The university is a sort of isolated little ivorld. Students don't feel the big issues really concern them. The civil rights issue is close to home, but you'd have to chase a student down to get him to give his honest opinion." "We're quick to criticize, sloiv to act." "Do you think that just because students in America don't cause revolutions and riots and take active stands, this means . . .?" "I'm not callingfor revolution. I'm calling far interest, and I don't care what side the student takes, as long as he takes a side."

The only thing I can think of where students took a stand on our campus, was when it was decided that it wasn't proper to have a brewery sponsor the basketball team on television. This caused a lot of student discussion, but it's the only instance I can remember.'' ''Why is there this unwillingness to take stands?'' "I think one big reason is that it's easier not to. It's much easierfor a person Just to go along.'' "I've sensed the feeling that unless it really burns within you, unless there is something where you can see just what you have done, you might as well just let the world roll on as it is rolling along. After all, people are going to act in the same old way, no matter what we try to do. Society is going to eventually come out in the same ivay, no matter what I, as an individual, try to do.” A lot of us hang hack, saying, 'Well, why have an idea now? It'll probably be different when I'm 45."' And you ask yourself, Can I take time away from my studies? You a.sk yourself. Which is more important? Which is more urgent to me?” Another reason is fear of repercussions—fear of offending people.

ten years and—academically, at least for the better. In fact, there’s been such a change that we may have to revise our sophomore language course. What was new to students at that level three years ago is now old hat to most of them. "But I have to say something negative, too,” the professor went on. "I find students more neurotic, more insecure, than ever before. Most of them seem to have no goal. They’re intellectually stimulated, but they don’t know where they’re going. I blame the world situation—the insecurity of everything today. "I can’t agree with people who see big changes in students,” said another professor, at another school. "It seems to me they run about the same, year after year. We have the bright, hard-working ones, as we have always had, and we have the ones who are just coasting along, who don’t know why they’re in school —just as we’ve always had.” "They’re certainly an odd mixture at that age a combination of conservative and romantic, a third professor said. "They want the world to run in their way, without having any idea how the world actually

runs. They don’t understand the complexity of things; everything looks black or w^hite to them. They say, 'This is what ought to be done. Let’s do it!’ ” lately "If their parents could listen in on their chil dren’s bull sessions, I think they’d make an interest ing discovery,” said another faculty member. "The kids are talking and worrying about the same things their fathers and mothers used to talk and worry about when they were in college. The times have certainly changed, but the basic agony—the bittersweet agony of discovering its own truths, which every generation has to go through—is the same as it’s always been. "Don’t worry about it. Don’t try to spare the kids these pains, or tell them they’ll see things differ ently when they’re older. Let them work it out. This is the way we become educated—^and maybe even civilized.” "I’d add only one thing,” said a professor emeri tus who estimates he has known 12,000 students over the years. "It never occurred to me to worry about students as a group or a class or a generation. I have worried about them as individuals. They’re all differ ent. By the way: when you learn that, you’ve made a pretty profound discovery.”

A Journey To Dillenburg, Germany Birthplace Of Philip W. Otterbein By Dr. Paul L. Frank About sixty miles nortli of the city of Frankfurt lies Dillenburg, a Kreisstadt (county seat) of about 11,000 inhabitants. Her most fam ous son is Wilhelm the Silent who, known as William of Orange, led the Netherlands in the war of inde]>endence against the Spanish crown and became the ancestor of the jjresent royal Dutch family. Only few people know of Philip Wilhelm Otterbein who was born there on June 3, 1726, and bap tized three days later. The highest point of the town is a tower built about 80 years ago witli funds given to Dillenburg by the Dutch jjeojde in grateful mem ory of William, called WilhcJrnslurjn. Just below it are the ruins of the castle of the jjrincely family of Nassau-Orange^ victim of one of the wars between France and Ger many during the 18th century. At the foot of the castle lies the “Evangelical” church to which the Otterbein family belonged. It is the burial place of the parents of William of Orange. Built as a Ca tholic church in Gothic style dur ing the 15th century, it became Protestant during the Reforma tion. While the new' creed was first of the Lutheran persuasion, a change toward the Calvinistic form was made during the end of the 16th century, largely under the in fluence of the ruling count. In more recent times, in many parts of Germany a union of the Luth eran and Refonned churches has taken place. In the whole State of Hessen, to which Dillenburg belongs, the State Church is Unit ed Protestant, or Evangelical. Yet, under the surface, the Reformed background of the whole area is not at all forgotten. The State Church is maintained by church taxes which the Government col lects and uses to support the of ficial religion of the land. The free churches, of which there are

a few in Germany, have to main tain themselves through voluntary contributions of their member ships, Philip Wilhelm Otterbein at tended the renowned “Latin School” in Dillenburg of which, at one time, his father was the principal. He obtained his theo logical training at the Hohe Schule in Herborn, a town about five miles distant from Dillenburg. This school was close in rank to a university and outstanding in theology. It was dissolved in 1817 and only the theological depart ment is continued as the “Evan gelical Theological Seminary.” It is now located at a castle on a hill in Herborn, oi iginally j)lannecl for a military garrison, then given by the owner as a home for w'iclows, and now a school for clergy men. German students for the min istry have to study at least four years at a university with Cireek and Hebrew as required subjects. Then they receive practical train ing for two semesters, one of which is spent at a seminary of Reform ed background, such as Herborn, the other at a school that leans more strongly toward the Luther an faith. When Philip Wilhelm Otterbein attended the Hohe Schule, it was housed in a build ing in the center of the town, now used for the City Museum. In the annals of the Dillenburg Latin School and the Hohe Schule in Herborn many members of the Otterbein family are listed. About Philip Wilhelm one can read that he voluntarily became a missionary to America, founded the “sect of Otterbeinites” and is regarded there “as an a|x>stle.” Surprisingly, a bearer of that name lives in Dil lenburg. Mr. Erich Otterbein is a native of Frankfurt. He and his wife Edith lived in East Berlin and came as refugees back to Frankfurt, and finally, to Dillen burg where he is one of the edi

tors of the Dill-Zeilung, one of the two local newspapers. In all pro bability his ancestors are of the same family as Philip Wilhelm, al though it has not yet been possible to ascertain the exact family con nection. He has no children and seems to be the last bearer of the family name. Visiting Dillenburg makes the observer realize how much the past is part of the present and to what high degree the knowledge of the past helps us to understand and evaluate our own time. Knowing of the person and accomplishment of Philip Wilhelm Otterbein, the visitor looks at the old city with much interest and affection. PI KAPPA PHI PUBLISHES HISTORY A spring publication of interest to many Otterbein altimni is the volume entitled STAl^NCH FRIENDS AT ALL HAZARDS, A HISTORY OF FI KAPPA PI 11 FR A T ER NIT Y, ] 908-1958 7’he first appearance of this l)ook was April 20.

Mark N. Funk, ’21

IVfark N. Funk, '21, is Executive Director of the Pennsylvania In terscholastic Athletic Association. Since 1952, his task has been to direct the sprawling athletic acti vities which encompass 1100 senior and junior high schools in Penn sylvania. Prior to 1952, Funk’s experiences included twenty-three years as a high school principal at Latrobe, Pennsylvania, seven years of high school teaching at Latrobe, and four summer terms as a teacher at the California State Teachers’ Col lege, California, Pennsylvania. Since Funk took control of the Athletic Association, he has seen schoolboy sports expand immense ly. Funk’s statistics show that in seven years, football has increased from 714 to 795 schools in Penn sylvania; basketball, 1023 to 1056; swimming, 57 to 73; golf, 85 to 139; track and field events, 449 to 532; and tennis, 57 to 95. “Wrestling has had the greatest expansion,” said Funk. In 1953 there were 121 schools which had wrestling teams. Now the number is 287. The only sport to decrease has been baseball, 712 to 687, and this is caused by schools dropping the sport because of adverse wea ther conditions in the spring.

Mark Funk was president of the 176-school Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Associa tion, the largest conference in the state. Fie held this position from 1912 to 1952. Prior to that he served on tlie W.P.I.A.L. footlxdl committee. “Most schools now sponsor about six sports, an increase of three in the last ten years,” Mr. Funk said. “There are a few schools, also, which sponsor more than six.” It costs $120,000 annually to maintain the P.P.I.A.A. operation and about 70 per cent of the in come is derived from seventeen playoff basketball games. “I think that in the next ten years, Pennsylvania will see even a greater growth in sports, e.specially in the self-participatic^n ones. The future ]>ic ture is very healthy. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next sport to take a firm hold will be gymnastics, which already has Ijegun to make inroads on the scene.” (The foregoing article is based on a feature article which appeared in the Harrisburg, Pa., Evening News, March 24, 1961.)

Mr. May sujjervises the teacher education programs in the 49 Ohio Colleges approved for the prepara tion of teachers. His department also provides leadership in the de velopment and refinement of pro grams of teacher education de signed tci jjroduce competent teach ers as well as issues certificates to e\eiy teaclier in Ohio. Albert May has sj^ent thirty-five years in the field of education. Following graduation from Otterbein, he was a principal and teacher for one year at Keene High School, Keene, Ohio. He then spent one year as teacher of mathematics at Newcomerstown High School, Newcomerstown, Ohio, before serv ing ten years as jjrincipal of New comerstown High School, 19281938. In 1938, Mr. May became jirincijxd of Martins Ferry High School until January, 1943, when he was elected ]>rincijial of the Harding Senior High School, Mar ion, Ohio. He served in Marion seven years before his selection as principal of Steubenville High School, Steubenville, Ohio, in 1950. He left the Steubenville post for his present position on [anuary 6 1958.
